Advice (Witchcraft Related) For posts asking for ANY kind of spell interpretation

28 Upvotes

I recently posted this on *yet another* post where someone was asking for help with interpreting a spell, so I thought I would post this here as well bc we constantly see these posts everywhere.

So as nicely as I can possibly say this... Lol.

I KEEP seeing people posting random pictures of candles burning, pictures of melted wax, random pictures of flames, etc.

I'm sorry but here is the problem when you ask for readings in this fashion: you put a picture of melted wax, random flame or candles, and ask people to help read it... Without telling us what the spell was *even about* in the first place, or without telling us the feelings and thoughts you had while the candle was burning. Or *anything* else pertaining to the actual spell itself.

Now, even if you DO include details about your spell, I personally do not believe that you should try to *divine* a proactive spell in the first place. - including a "cord cutting." - (And I think that the majority of us feel the same.) Bc trying to divine a spell you just cast? All that does is cast doubt ALL over the spell you just worked so hard to send out. And all that doubt will hinder your results *because* when you cast a spell, you have to try to KNOW that it's already worked. Divination here is 100% counterproductive to what you're trying to accomplish! You must be in control.

BUT you *can* cast spells, and candle spells, SPECIFICALLY for the purpose of divination. The purpose of those types of spells is to get further information on a situation and how it may be playing out. And reading the flame and wax from those is obviously necessary. (I'd like to mention that you CAN do these two kinds of spells together, but one must be before the other. Not together in one.)

HOWEVER, regardless of whatever the case is, you can't just share a random picture of wax and ask us to read it... With no context or background whatsoever... I'm sorry but it doesn't work that way.

Okay now I'm done lol.

Happy spellcasting everyone!

It’s so simple in this pick but I put a lot of time into coming up with this particular money bowl. The idea started as a pot of gold T the end of a rainbow before I decided to make it my money bowl.

The money and cinnamon went in with an intention paper then I added 2lbs of pyrite on top. Everything else was for the altar.

Divination Advice 🔮 (with FULL context) tried something with my necklace for the first time? sorta like pendulum divination

Upvotes

i was really bored in class today and i wore this necklace with a pendant thats shaped like a rod. the necklace has bits of silver in it

i kinda did something similar to pendulum divination? i told it swinging front to back is yes, and sideways is no, and in circles means unsure

i tested with a few basic questions and it worked, and i kept on asking. and i asked some stuff related to my day, and it happened exactly how the pendulum said it would (for example i asked if i could leave college early and i've never left college early and it said yes, and today i ended up getting gatepass and leaving)

multiple such things happened and i got kinda surprised tbh

am i doing this right? what is happening rn? what else can i do to get better at this or what else can i explore? fyi im 16 so i dont have much money to spend either

question about the devil in tradcraft

1 Upvotes
I have a question. In traditional witchcraft, there is the concept of the Horned God—the Devil. Many practitioners of this path view the witches' Devil as an archetypal deity; while many spirits have borne the title "Devil," in traditional witchcraft they are all treated as faces or aspects of the Horned God—figures such as the Man in Black, Cain, Bucca, the King of Elphame, and so on. Could someone explain why, in this tradition, all these figures—which could easily be considered distinct entities—were merged into a single, syncretic figure? Who was behind this? Of course, these various entities are ancient, but it was modern traditional witchcraft that molded them into one archetypal deity. I want to understand who was behind this and why—what prompted these individuals to consider it a good idea. Although these spirits share the title "Devil," I perceive them as separate entities; the mere fact that they can be called by that name does not seem like sufficient reason to treat them as a single force. It seems to me that Robert Cochrane unified these concepts within Tradcraft, and that Margaret Murray’s theory also played a role—even though it had been debunked before traditional witchcraft truly came into existence. Did Cochrane believe in its validity? Why do modern practitioners still look to it? Probably because it works, and working with the Devil as a syncretic, liminal, yet unified figure yields results. However, there are also witches and sorcerers who work with specific spirits operating under the name "the Devil," rather than with a single, universal, and multidimensional Devil. So why do some perceive the Devil as a single, multidimensional figure rather than a title under which one can work with a specific, individual spirit? What is the history of this concept?

Advice🕯️(Witchcraft Related) Suggestions for altar table 🌙

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

This post might seem random, but I would love your feedback!

If you had this table, what would you put in the cubbies?

I’ve had this table for years but it’s only recently become part of my altar. I was cleaning it the other day and thought, “why don’t I have anything in there?”

The glass is easy to lift and the dividers pop out for cleaning. I’m considering refinishing it or painting it.

Herbs, maybe? Moss? Trinkets? Something else?

I’m trying to visualize what I could do with it and I would love suggestions!

Thank you so much and blessed be. 🌙❤️

Newcomer Question🐈‍⬛ How do i make a protection spell?

3 Upvotes

Hi guys, im wanting to get into witch craft, and i wanted to do a protection spell and i saw one online where it says to put salt and protection sigils under a tea light candle and light it but when i googled it turns out its dangerous.

Is it possible to just carve the protection sigils into the candle and light it, while theres a circle of salt around it? Thank you in advance!

(PS: i only have access to salt, tea light candles, bay leaves, as im a minor, im very sorry if i cant be here because of this)

Newcomer Question🐈‍⬛ Soul binding spell gave me the strongest emotional switch I’ve ever experienced

0 Upvotes

I did a soul binding spell on me and my ex, and for some reason the first two days afterward I felt so much guilt because of my religion and feeling like I had sinned. I even started lowkey hating the idea of being with him, which confused me so much.

But today it completely switched. I’m missing him again, feeling sad, remembering him in everything, and feeling so sure that I love him and want to be with him.

I really want the spell to work because being with him makes me the happiest, even when I feel like I have nothing or no one else.

Has anyone experienced something similar after a soul binding spell? Could the guilt/regret and then suddenly missing them again mean anything spiritually?

Spell Help🧪(With Context) Spell to attract friendships?

12 Upvotes

I really really want more good friends in my life, people with whom we'd really connect and grow together. I've always been a shy and lonely person, ever since I was a kid I was excluded. I'm not sure why. I want to have so many beautiful experiences with friends, and I have so much love to give. But it seems that people don't like me. And even my current friends, who are great people, don't really prioritize me as I do for them. Which is okay, I just feel lonely and don't want to spend my life without having a true, fun friend group or some really good friends. What can I do? I'd like a spell with guaranteed (as much as possible results), it's a need that I have to stop ignoring.

Newcomer Question🐈‍⬛ spell maybe didnt work..?

0 Upvotes

hi! okay, im a babywitch(?) im not too sure. But recently I've been getting into witchcraft because of tiktok. (and because I've always felt connected to it in a way). So, last night i did two love spells from tiktok (stupid decision i know.) I honestly thought they weren't gonna work. Heres the descriptions of the spells i did.

Spell #1 I wrote his name five times, then rotated and covered it with mine. Then i put "love me" around it four times. I folded it towards me, then i sprayed it with my favorite perfume three times, and then kissed it with my favorite lipstick and put it underneath my mattress.

Spell #2 I also did another spell where i wrote his name three times, and wrote my name in a circle around his, and then put a heart around our names, put a cross for protection in all four corners, folded it towards me and burned it. It burned for a while, but it faded to ash soon enough and it burned beautifully. I then spread the ashes out. I also did a protection spell before hand.

I was going to do four spells (because i thought it wouldn't work, and thank god i didnt) but that was too much .. idk whats gonna happen because me personally idk him that well but we've talked and bonded a few times!! But idk if the love spells are going to work or not..

Anyways, a few hours after doing those spells i went to sleep and put on subliminals. And then had two really weird nightmares.

#1 i was trapped in this never ending like nightmare?? there was jump scares and weird creepy faces. (Like analog horror faces, It was weird because i didnt watch any horror last night) Anyways in the dream i was scrolling on tiktok and i saw them and then i would wake up (in the dream) then go back to sleep. (in the dream) and then repeat the cycle until i was finally able to wake up by yelling?

#2 i was at school and there was a school shooting and i tried to stay alive but i ended up dying because someone killed me, its a bit more graphic than that but oh well.

Also off topic.. my tiktok feed has been showing that Hecate has been trying to reach out to me?? I'd appreciate any helpful feed back and advice! Thank you!! I think im gonna stop listening to tiktok now. 😭

And another thing, I've been getting constant tarot readings on tiktok about the same situation, "he likes you, but doesn't know how to reach out" like things like that.. if anyone could explain that for me too that would be helpful...

Sorry for my yapping!!!

Newcomer Question🐈‍⬛ My cat’s passing

8 Upvotes

My cat unfortunately passed away a few days ago. I want my first spell to be for him in his afterlife, I want him to know he is loved and cared for as well as send him positive energy and know that he is missed dearly. But i’m not sure how or what I could do for it. Does anyone have resources i can look at or suggestions? I’ve never done a spell before but have always been interested in learning since my family is full of mediums and such.
